2013 Focus ST- 2.0L EcoBoost - Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P26DB, P26DD Or P26DE
- Workshop Manual (WSM) Update - Intake Air Distribution And Filtering
When diagnosing DTCs P26DB, P26DD, P26DE or an engine sound symposer concern on
2013 Focus ST vehicles, refer to Description and Operation and Diagnosis and Testing
in Section 303-1 2B Intake Air Distribution And Filtering - 2.0L EcoBoost of
the WSM. These DTCs will not illuminate a MIL. A customer concern of changed/intermittenV
no audible sound symposer function may also be accompanied by DTC P26DE.
Confirm symposer valve wiring C1720 is correctly seated. Refer to Pinpoint Test C.
Note: Damage will occur if symposer valve is manually cycled. Additionally,
where the WSM indicates to monitor the the SOVC_STATUS PID in IDS, monitor the
ENGSOUND_MON PID instead. Engineering is currently investigating this concern.
Monitor OASIS for updates.

2013 ESCAPE - CLUNK NOISE FROM THE REAR OVER BUMPS
Some 2013 Escape vehicles may exhibit a clunk noise from the rear over bumps. Verify
which side the noise is coming from and perform the following: Check the rear
lower shock mounting bolt to make sure it is fu lly seated and torqued to spec
(115 Nm/85 lb-ft}. If lower mounting bolt is not seated or torqued, discard the
bolt then check the knuckle mounting threads for contamination. If any concerns
are noted, verify the threads are clean with a M12 x 1.75 tap then install a new
bolt (W706130 S442) and torque to 115 Nm/85 1b-ft. Check the two rear upper shock
mounting nuts. Make sure they are torqued to spec (25 Nm/ 181b-ft). When doing
this, the mounting studs must be held so they do not turn. Engineering is currently
investigating, shock replacement is not recommended at this time and may
result in a repeat repair. Please continue to monitor OASIS.

2011-2013 F-150- 3.5L GTDI - Intermittent Stumble/Misfire On Acceleration From
Highway Cruise In Humid Or Damp Conditions With Possible DTC
Some 2011 -2013 F-150 equipped with 3.5L gasoline turbocharged direct injection
(GTDI} engines may exhibit an intermittent stumble and/or misfire on hard acceleration
after extended drive at highway speeds during extreme humid or damp conditions.
Vehicle may also exhibit steady or flashing malfunction indicator lamp with
Diagnostic Trouble Codes P0304, P0305, P0306 in the PCM. Before attempting repair,
inspect the vehicle to see if updated Charge Air Cooler (CAC) (BL3Z- 6K775-B
for 2011-2012 Model Year and DL3Z- 6K775-B for 2013 Model Year) and CAC Deflector
CL3Z-19E672-A are installed. If the latest CAC is not installed, refer to applicable
TSB 13-3-3, 12-11 -15. If the latest CAC is installed, replacing the CAC
again will not correct this condition. Engineering is investigating; continue to
monitor OASIS for further updates.
